I suggest you consider the free satellite TV that is available. C-band and Ku-Band have tons of free satellite signals. There is also encrypted signals you can subscribed to which is similar to DirecTV and Dish. NASA TV is available via C-Band. You can pick up Ku-band receivers here http://www.eyeinthesky.net/ for under $200. C-band cost a little more. C-band Systems are available http://skyvision.com/store/c-band_systems.html. C-band frequency is 3.4-4.2 GHz, and Ku-Band frequency is 10.7-12 Ghz. The receiving frequency range place the limit on the size of receiver. Which basically mean for C-band you are required the big-dish, and Ku-band you just need a small dish that is rather cheap. Bear in mind that when you get a big-dish, you will be able to receive both bands whereby you will only be able to get the Ku-band with the small dish.
